<p>Head over to New Sunshine and you&#8217;ll see similar bulbs on offer &#8212; including a 100-watt replacement LED corn light, mostly sold in two-packs for under $100.<br />
This makes it the cheapest 100-watt replacement bulb we&#8217;ve tested, and while it&#8217;s not without some minor flaws, it&#8217;s very easy to give excellent value. For beginners, it&#8217;s the most efficient light bulb I&#8217;ve tested, delivering 1,574 lumens of yellowish tint at just 14.5 watts of power loss, which equates to 108.6 lumens per watt.</p>

Add in the price of the bulb itself, and it&#8217;s still about half what you&#8217;d need to run a 100-watt fluorescent lamp for the same amount of time. It will pay back its investment in many months.</p>
<p>He&#8217;s pretty good on dimmer switches. I was able to dim it to a minimum of 1.1% chroma on average in all of my test power switches, which is stronger than any other bulb I&#8217;ve tested, and I never noticed this flickering. I did hear a faint hum when I dimmed it to the medium setting on the contemporary rotary power switch, but the sound of it doesn&#8217;t disqualify it. It&#8217;s deaf on an old rotary dash that wasn&#8217;t even custom made for LEDs.</p>

They&#8217;re also a bit brighter, putting out 1,597 lumens. There is no flickering itself, but there is a faint buzzing sound on some switches and some settings. I can&#8217;t get it down as low as the Utilitech LED, but it still achieves a satisfactory average of at least 6%.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not the best dimmable bulb I&#8217;ve tested, but it&#8217;s good enough for most major uses, and even better than you might expect at $5 per bulb. For the slightly darker stuff&#8230; okay, just flip it down a bit.</p>

<p>With a market price of $13, it&#8217;s also one of the more expensive options in this study, but the LED100W Corn Light Replacement LED is my standout for dimming detection. In fact, it&#8217;s the only lightbulb I&#8217;ve ever used that stabilizes falling light from the ground, but every power switch in our test rig barely flickers or buzzes at all.<br />
That&#8217;s not to say it&#8217;s absolutely perfect. While the dimming was smooth, quiet, and flicker-free, the CreeLED had to average around 14% on all of my power switches, which is also very high. The light bulb&#8217;s claims of improved color quality seem a bit exaggerated &#8211; the light quality looks good to me, but it doesn&#8217;t look much better than other bulbs I&#8217;ve tested.<br />
Even so, it&#8217;s an all-around high-quality light bulb with no glaring flaws, and I love that Cree offers a similarly ideal 10-year warranty. If you need a reliable light bulb that dims well, the extra money is worth it.</p>
